Well, why did you pick your username?

[NoOne852]

Its a name I use for almost all online accounts. Just kinda a joke in a way, there is no particular reason behind it.

 

[SeeIn2D]

I chose mine because it's my youtube username and my primary PSN. The actual name is from the Gorillaz "band member" 2D who I think is an awesome character. The actual name is like seeing in 2D instead of 3D. No idea why, I've just liked the name for a while so I plan on sticking with it.

 

[Patrick Buck]

My name. Becuase I thought you could change it. :/
Fails.

 

[Artina89]

At the time I was playing Castlevania: Symphony of the night and I was stumped for a username so I decided on Alucard followed by my date of birth. Looking back, I wish I had chosen a more feminine username, but I guess it can't really be helped.

I'm fairly sure you can change your username now.

OP: It's from an electro song by a band called Robots in Disguise. I don't like the song anymore but I kept the username.

I know you can change it, but I have gotten used to it, its rather comforting, like an old pair of slippers so I am keeping it

That's how I am with my avatar. Every time I find something to change it to, I chicken out.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I grew a moustache, was reintroduced to my Sherlock Holmes complete works, and loved the new series of Sherlock...

Also I currently work for and with Americans, and they perceive me as some sort of 19th century gentleman, so I have played to that stereotype, and kind of like it, so deided to reinvent my profile on here!

 

[The]

I didn't have one, so I picked "The"

 

[trollnystan]

I liked the sound of it, plus I was rather heavily into (mythological) trolls at the time =3

In Swedish its an old-fashioned word for a magical curse, or a word for "little people". Something like that anyway; the internet doesn't have much info on the word =(

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

...because I'm certain we've had threads like this before several times.

Of course we have, butt due to the ever changing population, and the fact that a lot of different people answer each time, AND it hasn't been around for a while, means that it is ok!

You could say the same thing about 'Reccomend me some music' threads... but you don't get exactly the same answers each time! In fact I make a point of never posting the same song twice on different threads!

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

it is the name of the symbol I use for my avatar

Wow... I just tried to look this symbol up, out of interest, and all google came up with were links to accounts you have n websites, and google images just showed pics in the forums on here that you had commented on...! :S

[TobiasFunke]

He is a brilliant tv character!

 

[Ipsen]

Jim Sterling has answered this for me:

"It's off of FFIX."

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I've been confused for a woman on numerous occasions, particularly when my body was obscured while my face wasn't. Apparently I'm pretty.

 

[DiZtAnT]

It was my Gamertag back in the day,
I sort of regret it now, seeing as how childish it appears to look, but I checked it and realised ive been with the escapist for a year or so on this account now.

Figured I would keep the long standing cred over having a cool name.

Huh, that is quite interesting , I can honestly say I didn't know that is what would come up.

 

[Jedoro]

It's a name I made up for my first World of Warcraft character, so now I use it more often online.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Well Jon is how I shorten my first name sometimes, or at least did back in school. I prefer my wfull name now, oddly.

Proverbial means anything of or pertaining to a proverb or a popular saying. For example in the saying "The pot calling the kettle black," you may refer to the proverbial pot, which in this case would not be a real pot but actually a person who is essentially being a hypocrite.

I always considered proverbs to be well known and almost famous whilst the proverbial item in question actually being nothing more than a metaphor... so in a way Proverbial Jon is both well known and not real at all...

 

[The Heik]

I assure you there is a reason behind mine. It's just...

A secret...

[sub][sub]Moo! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9iIgQN5uZE][/sub][/sub]

God, I forgot how trippy cyriak's stuff is.

OT: My username is quite simple really. My name (Heiki Naelapea-Varik) is quite literally one of
a kind. Never before in the history of mankind has that name been used to identify a human being.

I am THE Heiki Naelapea-Varik. Or just The Heik for short.
